Truckers hauling livestock would no longer need electronic logs or follow federal driving hour rules.
This bill would change federal rules for truckers who transport livestock, insects, or aquatic animals. These drivers would no longer have to follow federal limits on how long they can drive or use electronic devices to track their hours. This would also apply when their trucks are empty but traveling to pick up or return from delivering these animals.
Today, commercial trucks, including those moving livestock, must follow federal rules on how long drivers can be on the road. They also must use electronic devices to track those hours. If this bill passes, truckers hauling livestock, insects, or aquatic animals would be exempt from federal driving hour limits. They would also be exempt from using electronic logging devices, even when their trucks are empty during related trips.
